Hi everyone,

For an article about housing scams, I am looking for personal stories from TU Delft students who fell victim to one.

The aim of the article is to warn students about the risks of rental fraud, since the scams are getting more and more sophisticated.

The article will be published on TU Delta, the journalistic platform of the TU Delft.

Would you like to share your story/ know someone who would? Please send me a DM.

Cheers,

Inger

Has anyone done it? Was it manageable?

Hey! I’m a half Filipino half Dutch guy who recently moved to Delft and would love to join some runs playing pickup basketball. I’m 194cm and play PF/C, I play team basketball and been playing for quite some time. If anyone knows someone who organizes games/ has a group I’d love to join and hang out. Hoping to hear back from anyone with recommendations and invites :)

Hello. I went to get my bike fixed today at the campus bike repair shop but they told me I need to come back tomorrow at 9am to get it fixed. The problem is I have class everyday at 9am.
Do you know if they take in bikes later in the day? Furthermore, do you know if they do bike check ups? My bike hasn’t been used in almost 20 years and I want to get an overall check up. Thank you!

Mijn zoon wil volgend jaar, vanaf 2027-2028 applied Physics gaan studeren in Delft. Wij wonen in Zuid-Limburg. Hij staat al twee jaar ingeschreven bij Rooms. Hoe verloopt het zoeken naar een kamer proces en wanneer moet je daar mee starten? Hij doet eerst in oktober nog een meeloopdag. De examens zijn natuurlijk in mei maar het gaat ons dan niet lukken om naar Delft te gaan. En ik vermoed dat zoeken vanaf 1 juni te laat is? Iemand tips?

Hi guys, I’m planning to bike from The Hague to TU Delft.

I’d like to use my road bike to make the commute quicker and more comfortable, but I’m not sure if there’s anywhere on campus where I can park it safely. Does anyone know of a secure bike parking spot or have any recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I’m starting my master’s at TU Delft and I recently applied for a room at Aan ’t Verlaat through 4-Freedom. I’ve now been invited to a viewing.

Before going any further, I wanted to ask about people’s experiences with 4-Freedom, especially at Aan ’t Verlaat.

I confirm that my post is not asking about generic housing experiences

I found an old TU Delft Delta article about international students at Aan ’t Verlaat having problems getting their deposits back, including a case where many students had their deposits withheld for alleged extra cleaning costs. Eventually, 38 students took legal action and received €17,239.37 in total.

How are things with 4-Freedom now, especially for people who have recently rented from them?

• Are they generally trustworthy?
• Did you get your full deposit back when you moved out?
• Have you had any problems with unexpected charges or cleaning costs?
• How was the viewing and application process?
• If you were invited to a viewing, what happened afterwards?
• Would you personally recommend renting from them?

I am also very much aware of the housing crisis but also paying almost 1000 Euros to a 30m2 room with every acility shared seems a bit too much.

I’m particularly interested in recent experiences, since the deposit case I found is from a few years ago.

Thanks in advance!

Can a Btech IT graduate from a indian tier-2 engineering college get admitted to interaction design in tu delft

I heard that the TU Delft does not have a Cantine/ Mensa…but where is the cheapest Place to eat on campus/ near campus? Any recommendations are appreciated 🫶🏻

I’m a second year aerospace student at TU Delft and recently I got a foldable bike to commute from Den Haag to Delft. However, I know that bike theft is a common thing that happens with the “fancier” bikes in here. So I was wondering if there are any safe places to park my bike around the campus?

I just found out that my professor forgot to upload my thesis grades on Osiris. I have gotten my physical certificate and have defended my thesis. Would there be any complications if I unenrol, regardless? I have emailed him. I hope he uploads them on 31st 😭

Hello! I am planing to get my bachelor in Delft on the international programme of aerospace engineering. Any info I should know as in the housing situation and how hard it is to get accepted? If it means something, I am from the EU and last I checked the tuition is ~2500€

Is het gebruikelijk om samen met iemand te wonen in een huurwoning en dan de huur te splitten. Ik sta hier wel voor open maar ik ken helemaal niemand in Delft en ik heb geen connecties met mensen die studeren aan delft of in de buurt wonen. Laat maar weten.

Tips zijn ook welkom.

Hello, I’m starting the “Space” track for Ms AE and I wanted to follow “CFD for Aerospace Engineers” during Q1. Its classes, however, are at the same time as the ones for “Planetary Exploration”. If there’s someone who has previously managed to follow the course, could you tell me how did you do it? Did you follow both of them at the same time or did you place it in Year 2?

interested in aerospace engineering and currently completing my A levels (math, phys, chem) and had a question(s)

• Would i be more likely to be accepted if i had A grades rather than B grades? or is it only based on the assessments conducted by TUDelft themselves?
• Would working on a project (such as drones/rockets) increase the chance of being offered a seat?
• for any Aerospace engineers from delft, how was the entrance exam? how about the entrance exam compared to the syllabus they provide beforehand, how similiar/useful is it?

please info dump anything you can/want to about TUDelft and/or AE

thank you in advance 😄

Hi guys, Im a student founder of a deeptech startup and planning to apply to tu delft

Im based in asia and curious about YES!Delft.
Is it worth to get funded/incubated by them?

Hi everyone! I am looking to make some new friends in Delft now that I'll study here, both Dutch and International. If anyone has some nice recommendations on nice places in Delft to connect with others, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

It is unclear to me whether our access to Brightspace, OSIRIS, and Outlook will expire immediately upon termination of our enrollment at TU Delft or three months after that.

Hi. I'm from Iran and will be finishing my bachelor in materials science and engineering from one of the top 5 universities here, with a good resume and an IELTS academic 8of overall 8.5. I've been really interesting in continuing my studies in DELFT for masters, but apparently there's been this new rules set since appx. October 2025 where u need to have a masters degree to be able to study for masters if are from Iran which is insane!!!

I emailed the Student Administration about it and it's serious and no bridging courses are provided for international students. Does anyone have a clue about this? what lead to this stupid decision since nothing has changed in the quality and level of our bachelors and they're still ur average 4-year programs as they've always been.

I'd appreciate any sort of help on this since it's been my dream to go to DELFT and now I'm rally confused. I've heard rumors that other NL universities are also implementing this, but I'm not sure if all.

Hi guys! I am an international student with plans of applying to the aerospace engineering masters program and I wanted to kind of have a basic idea of what other people did to get in, what are they resumes like? So if you got into that program and know someone who did u would really appreciate some guidance. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I’m looking to do masters in TU Delft. I just wanted to get an overall insight about career opportunities after masters and if it is worth it for me to consider relocating for this opportunity. It would be great if yall could give me a descriptive explanation so that I can give this step a thought. Thanks for helping out!

Hello all,
I am planning to do my MSc in Urbanism from TU Delft for the 2027 intake. I spoke to a few alumni from TU Delft who graduated this year; they were saying the work opportunities are not at their best and are really, really bad.
Anyone who is working in NL, can you please give your insights on this, like how are the work opportunities for urban designers?

I am from India and have worked for 2 years in an urban design firm.
